Tiramisu Reviews

This dessert had its heyday on American menus about 15 years ago, and it turns up a little less frequently these days. The popularity of tiramisu never wavered in Rome, however, where it continues to be served at dinner parties and restaurants.

Excellent dessert--very impressive. Rich, yet remarkably light. I made this for a large group and it got rave reviews. Ingredients fit to-the-drop perfectly in a large 10" x 15" glass baking dish (will have 2 layers each of ladyfingers and the marscapone mix).

I looked for this recipe just to duplicate the cream part of the dessert because of a dessert I had tried at a local bakery that I was trying to duplicate. We don't particularly like coffee so tiramisu is not one of our favorites but this recipe with replacing the coffee with a simple syrup and almaretto makes the most delicious almond creme cake. I did however find that after reading some of the reviews I was afraid on how much to soak the Lady fingers for fear of making them too soggy. Well you live and learn because I don't feel I soaked them enough and it took a little away from the cake. I will however next time use the soft ladyfingers and will reduce the number of ladyfingers I use. I didn't care for that many. Overall this dessert turned out great. I doubled the recipe and it still only lasted a few days with just the 4 of us.

This was the first time I'd ever made tiramisu and I brought it to a dinner party. The creamy filling was delicious. Everyone really seemed to like it! The only thing I did wrong was choose fresh ladyfingers, rather than crisp. They fell apart when I dunked them into the coffee/marsala mixture. So I just arranged the rest of them in the dish and spooned the coffee over them. It worked out just fine. No one seemed the wiser. I think the next time I might add a little vanilla or perhaps use Kahlua instead of marsala. I'd welcome other suggestions.

This was a good recipe. I have made probably half a dozen different recipes (you'd be surprised how many there are out there - some use cream cheese, whipped cream and NO Mascarpone - how original is that?) and this is a pretty good one. You just have to keep trying different ones until you find the one that is your personal favorite. And what does the previous reviewer mean that this is a joke? If you're going to review, please say something useful, otherwise, don't waste the space. Thanks!
